HDD has an influence on three major aspects of the drilling or pipe laying job. Thus, the use of a well-equipped and technically capable Colorado directional boring company is recommended in places where the surface cannot be disturbed. It really doesn’t involve digging across a vast expanse of soil. This method creates only two open pits: the entry and exit points of the pipeline. It allows contractors to drill horizontally underground without disturbing the surface. In simple terms, HDD refers to a trenchless drilling operation.

Its ability to perform digging operations without disturbing or causing damage to the surface makes horizontal directional drilling superior to outdated methods.

The trenchless technology of HDD has really opened doors of opportunity for directional boring companies and utility providers to conduct digging operations almost anywhere. Lastly, the pipeline is pulled into the enlarged hole, thus creating a continuous segment of pipe underground and exposed only at the two initial endpoints.Horizontal directional drilling is becoming widely popular especially in urban areas where the conventional trench-type digging is no longer feasible. Second, the bore created is enlarged to a diameter that will facilitate the installation of the desired pipeline. First, create a pilot hole that defines the pipe alignment. It also reduces excavation and shoring costs, and a technician above ground can safely steer the drill head and make sudden adjustments around existing utilities, making it a safer operation than open trench. Our HDD is the shortest drill in its class, giving it the ability to easily maneuver into job sites, large or small. This machinery has changed the way the industry does boring.
#TRENCHLESS DIRECTIONAL DRILLING INSTALL#
At Joseph Engineering we use it to install various types and sizes of underground utilities such as water pipe, electrical conduit, or conduit for communication (telephone, television, internet) cables, especially in places where minimal surface disturbance is required or where there might be a variety of soil conditions including clay, silt, sand, and rock, materials usually unfit for other excavation methods.

Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) is a trench-less method also referred to as Directional Boring. The Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) No doubt it is a rapidly growing sector of the construction and civil engineering industry, and one that Joseph Engineering is proud to offer. So, while it lessens the economic impact on external activities, it also costs less than digging full-length trenches when there are extensive surface improvements, and if that is not enough benefit, trench-less excavation creates a safer work environment for the workers controlling the process from the surface. That also reflects on a minimal disturbance to source traffic, business, and other commercial activities. This groundbreaking technology for subsurface construction protects the ecosystem and adjacent areas by creating minimum surface disruptions.

One of the services we offer is trench-less excavation, a relatively new technology that has gained popularity over the years, mainly because it requires few or no continuous trenches when installing underground services like water, gas, electric, or telecommunication cables. At Joseph Engineering we keep up with the latest technologies dealing with excavation and underground utilities.
